Summary
This week’s episode is a real roller coaster as I sit down with Father Mark Quinn, the parish priest of Tuam, County Galway. Mark and I grew up in the same village, but until this conversation, I had no idea about many of the struggles and challenges he faced throughout his life. I still remember reading in the local newspaper that he had become a parish priest, it genuinely surprised me, and it made me curious about the journey that brought him there. This is probably the longest episode of the season, and honestly, I could have sat and talked with Mark all day. His honesty, openness, and willingness to share his story made for a fascinating conversation, and I’m incredibly grateful to him for that. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Please sign up to my Patreon for weekly bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/BigNewsComingSoon Hosted on Acast.
